Waiting On Wednesday ... When We Caught Fire

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is When We Caught Fire by Anna Godbersen

Here is the Goodreads synopsis 

It’s 1871 and Emmeline Carter is poised to take Chicago’s high society by storm. Between her father’s sudden rise to wealth, and her recent engagement to Chicago’s most eligible bachelor, Emmeline has it all. But she can’t stop thinking about the life she left behind, including her childhood sweetheart, Anders Magnuson. Fiona Byrne, Emmeline’s childhood best friend, is delighted by her friend’s sudden rise to prominence, especially since it means Fiona is free to pursue Anders herself. But when Emmeline risks everything for one final fling with Anders, Fiona feels completely betrayed.

As the summer turns to fall, the city is at a tipping point: friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and the tiniest spark might set everything ablaze. Sweeping, soapy, and romantic, this is a story about an epic love triangle—one that will literally set the city ablaze, and change the lives of three childhood friends forever. 

The idea that a love triangle is what caused the 1871 Chicago fire immediately piqued my interest. I know love triangles are met with resistance from many, but I love them. I am curious about how it leads to a city burning down and I am sure it'll be filled with plenty of drama and scandal along the way.

This book doesn't come out until autumn of 2018, but I am already keeping my fingers crossed I get my hands on an ARC because I don't think I can wait that long to read this one.

Expected release date - October 2, 2018
